Hi All
I had intended to post this razor on Anzac day, didn't get the chance unfortunately.
Before i go any further, excuse the poor pictures, I used the scanner as my cameras out of juice.
Here for your consideration is my ERN - Wald Solingen, a rather nondescript 6/8 razor in average condition, but its whats scratched into the scales that makes it vastly more important to me.
the scales bear the words 'TRIPOLI 1ST FEB 43' near the tang and 441815 SGMN. A. H. CHADWICK near the toe.
Now, Im not at all related to Signalman(?) Chadwick, but extend my eternal gratitude to him, the New Zealand troops and all those who served with the British Eighth Army in north africa, men who braved the desert to counter Rommel and the Axis forces, Italian fascism in Libya, and prevent Nazi Germany from acquiring the Suez Canal and the oilfields of the middle east.
P.S. the active rust has been removed since I made these pics.
Thanks for looking!
